The two most common are RAID 0 and RAID 5. RAID systems can be configured in multiple ways. MSRP: $1,815.00 as tested (prices range based upon storage capacity) However, in RAID 5 mode, while read speeds were excellent for a small, 4-drive unit, write speeds slowed more than I expected.īecause there are no moving parts in an SSD, the unit can easily survive very rugged handling, which makes it ideal for editors that need to travel and it is small and light enough to fit just about anywhere. The unit can be configured as RAID 0 using Apple’s Disk Utility, or RAID 0, 1, 4, 5 or 1+0 using SoftRAID which is RAID utility software, sold separately. This petite unit – roughly 3 x 4 x 6 inches – is easy to setup, weighs very little, sits quietly on a desk, and, in RAID 0 mode, delivers the speeds you expect from an SSD drive. SECOND NOTE: OWC is also a sponsor of my podcast, Digital Production Buzz. Because of the potential performance benefits, I only looked at the SSD version. NOTE: This unit has both SSD or spinning hard disk options. The good folks at OWC loaned me a ThunderBay 4 mini SSD drive to take a closer look at for a week. Today, however, we are seeing SSD drives appear at prices that are more within reach. However, for a long time, SSD drives were priced so that only the few could afford them. SSD (Solid State Drives) drives are known for their performance, small size and ruggedness.
